Abstract
The set of differential equations describing the behavior of the flow field and the stress field in deforming porous media were originally derived by Biot (1941) for a general three-dimensional system under the assumption of linearity. However coupled models of flow based on the solution of the Biot equations are not frequently used because of their numerical complexity and of the heavy computational burden required by their application to aquifer basins of realistic size.
